Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This Application is a National Stage Application under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of PCT Application No. PCT/CN2022/095212, filed May 26, 2022, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202210343602.1, filed Apr. 2, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The present disclosure relates generally to vehicles and related add-on components thereof, and in particular, to a pickup truck add-on assembly and a pickup truck.

BACKGROUND

A pickup truck is a light-weight truck provided with a roof-less cargo box at the rear of a cab, and a side plate of the cargo box is integrally connected to the cab. It is a passenger and cargo dual-purpose automobile with a cargo box at the back. Its functional advantage is that, first, it has the dual characteristics of a household vehicle and a commercial vehicle (passenger and cargo dual-purpose) and has significant features of a vehicle used both for business purpose and private purpose, and secondly, it has diversified structures so as to satisfy wider requirements (double doors or four doors, long cargo box or short cargo box, two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, gasoline or diesel engine).
With the increasing westernization of Chinese human lifestyle, the pickup trucks have been favored by many citizens. Moreover, as the enthusiasts for retrofitting scale up, the refitting of pickup truck becomes one of the most highly sought-after categories in retrofitting. A common retrofitting approach is to add a rear cover on the bed of a pickup truck. However, a conventional rear cover for a pickup truck is hinged on one side to an edge of the bed, and then the bed is uncovered by lifting the rear cover upward. In such an opening manner, the lifted rear cover is always located right above the bed, making the rear cover prone to be bumped when taking/placing luggage, especially large pieces of luggage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring to FIGS. 1-2 , the present disclosure proposes a pickup truck add-on assembly, comprising: a base 1 configured to be matched with and fixedly mounted to the pickup truck bed, an upper cover 2, and at least one driving assembly 3, wherein the driving assembly 3 comprises a driving mechanism 31 and a support arm 32, two ends of the support arm 32 are respectively hinged to the upper cover 2 and the base 1, the driving mechanism 31 is hinged to the support arm 32 and is configured to drive the support arm 32 to rotate, so that a hinge joint 4 between the support arm 32 and the upper cover 2 moves close to/away from the base 1 in a height direction. When the driving mechanism 31 drives the support arm 32 to rotate, the hinge joint 4 between the support arm 32 and the upper cover 2 moves from a left side to a right side of the hinge position between the support arm 32 and the base 1, or moves from the right side to the left side of the hinge position between the support arm 32 and the base 1, so as to gradually open or close the pickup truck bed.
When in use, the base 1 is fixed on the pickup truck, thus making the upper cover 2 covering the pickup truck bed. As the driving mechanism 31 drives the support arm 32 to rotate, which makes the hinge joint 4 where the support arm 32 is hinged with the upper cover 2 is switched between a position away from the base 1 and a position close to the base 1, the upper cover 2 is switched between an open state and a closed state accordingly. In this design manner, the driving mechanism 31 moves horizontally while pushing the upper cover 2 to move upwards, so that a certain open space is formed above the pickup truck bed after the upper cover 2 is completely opened, which facilitates the taking and placing of goods.
Specifically, the driving mechanism 31 may drive the support arm 32 to rotate to a horizontal state, and when the support arm 32 is in the horizontal state, the upper cover 2 abuts against the base 1. At this point, the pickup truck bed turns into a fully closed state.
Referring to FIGS. 3-4 , when the support arm 32 is in the horizontal state, the upper accommodating groove 26 provided on the upper cover 2 is snap-fitted with the lower accommodating groove 18 provided on the base 1 to accommodate the support arm 32 therebetween.
Referring to FIG. 5 , the upper cover 2 comprises a middle decorative plate 22 and an outer frame body 21 formed by at least four profiles C 211 and four corner connectors C 212 connected end to end; one end of the support arm 32 is hinged to the outer frame body 21; and each edge portion of the middle decorative plate 22 is adapted to be accommodated in a circumferential groove 2111 provided on the inner side of the outer frame body 21. This design manner allows the upper cover to be lightweight, and this combination assembly manner enables all the constituent components of the entire upper cover 2 to be replaced separately, thereby making the assembly, disassembly and replacement very convenient.
Specifically, the corner connector C 212 has two vertically disposed plug-in portions C 2121, and the two plug-in portions C 2121 are respectively inserted into end portions of two adjacent profiles C 211 and fixed thereto, and the middle decorative plate is a honeycomb panel or a PVC panel.
Referring to FIG. 6 , the base 1 comprises at least two oppositely disposed profiles A 11, and the support arm 32 is mounted between each of the two profiles A 11 and the upper cover 2 for hinging the profile A 11 and the upper cover 2.
